📋 About This Mod

A new and improved replacer for our beloved housecarl.

A new version of Lydia, now with high poly head (standalone).

No skin or body included, she will use your default ones (final look may vary depending on your setup).

FOMOD with 3 different hair options (short - medium - long).

New features and fixes:

- flagged Essential

- max level is now 100

- uses female animations

- fixed the PotentialMarriage faction that caused bugs in the vanilla game

- added the LightFoot perk so she will avoid traps, and a few one-handed perks

ESP flagged light.

Compatible with any version of Skyrim SE/AE.

Override any other NPC replacers that change the same NPC.

You might have conflicts with other mods that change her appearance, outfit, AI, stats, etc. - load this one last to get the right face.

(You might need to patch them, in case let me know if you are having issues).

Patch for Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia in the optional files.

Racemenu preset HERE.

Standalone Follower version available HERE.
